Meaning & history of the Eritrea flag

Eritrea's flag has a red triangle based on the hoist reaching to the fly, dividing green (top) and blue (bottom) triangles, with a gold olive wreath and branch emblem on the red. Red recalls the blood of the long independence struggle, green the agricultural economy, blue the sea, and the gold wreath — from the independence-era flag — peace and prosperity.
